We pointed out this week that when Joe Biden was visiting Wisconsin, he was photographed wearing a backwards hard hat.
Naturally, the left-wing fact-checking site Snopes defended Biden, claiming that the hard hat is not backwards.
Red State reported:
Snopes sets itself on fire by “fact checking” Biden wearing a backwards hard hat
Did Snopes engage in the most dishonest “fact-checking” ever? This may be a bit strong given how terrible the fact-checking industry is, but their latest work should be up there.
The setup, reported by RedState on Friday, involves Joe Biden wearing a backwards hard hat while trying to appease unionized workers in Wisconsin. The photo itself is comical, and is only a small part of the aging shown during his journey.
The photo received just the right amount of ribbing from people online. I mean, it's objectively funny that while trying to present himself as working class, Biden managed to fail while wearing a hard hat. However, Snopes couldn't leave it alone enough. One of their “fact-checkers” sprang into action to present one of the stupidest “ridiculous” moments in modern political history. It's so bad that some people think it's fake, but it's real.
It's real. https://t.co/eSOG8BobpS https://t.co/NPPaoldb84 pic.twitter.com/Vyrl7mWcCi

Snopes was roasted on Twitter/X over this.

Then they changed their assessment and admitted the truth.

It's absolutely amazing that they went to Biden's back on something so obvious. How many times have they been wrong?
